He pointed out that it would be very convenient for audiences to watch dramas and movies online, and there would be no need to be limited by TV time slots.

Lam Fung also admitted that it also brought back a lot of memories, because he has not promoted with so many actors who have known each other for more than 20 years. He was also looking forward to collaborating with elder Sam Gor, even if the Sam Gor played "Ken" assassinated him in the film he would not mind. Speaking of people on the internet saw through this as "Jing Ke assassinates King of Qin", Lam Fung admitted that this was a "gimmick". He also pointed out that the role was titled "Ken Gor" for a different meaning. Goo Jai asked the audience to go to the cinema and watch the movie.

Of course the more the better, but he also lamented that the global box office. He hoped that the audience would come to the theater to support it.

The audience would still need to come and support it."

There would be a special audience cosplay screening, as he hoped to make it like a party that would span different eras. When asked if he would sing "The Highest Destiny" with Lam Fung to distribute benefits? He laughed and said that Lam Fung could sing solo, or for Sam Gor to sing it would be the most special. Sam Gor laughed and said, "I can, I learned to sing from Ah Fung!"

However when making the movie they were already like old friends. Tang Lai Ming was still happy because the filming of "LO AND BEHOLD" needed to be accommodated, saying that if the sequel would be filmed she would be willing to check her schedule again. Suen Huen laughed and said that with a good box office they could make another, because the subject matter still had a lot of room for development. The three revealed that their BACK TO THE STEP participation was completely due to Koo Tin Lok's personal invitation. During the shoot he had many jobs, so he was tense and worn on the set. They did not dare to say more but they did not feel that they have had their fill. The three suggested that the sequel should add more women's dramas and family scenes, and Suen Huen and Kwok Sin Nei would not mind that Goo Jai "married" Tang Lai Ming and enjoyed the blessings.

Kwok Sin Nei joked, "Even if you won't be there you can still win! Isn't it supposed to be fair?"

Suen Huen expressed online after the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire that she could foster some small animals and revealed that she has received messages asking for help. "Now I am still checking to see if anyone needs help." Suen Huen's uncle Robert Chua Wah Peng was caught in a fur controversy, but she was unwilling to comment.
